The title says it all. Any bad or good experiences with one of theese handlebars?
I need to decide which one is going on my Speeder SC-R55D
-
Plently of bad experiences with avian over at weight weenies, questionable tolerances on peak torque's set of avro bars and tavelo frame
-
Between those 2 you mentioned, I'd pick the farsports f1s.

I had the farsports F1 on my Orbea Orca Aero. Not the biggest fan actually. I did not have much support going aero in the hoods..
-
I don't see how the other two would change that

Go separate stem and ascent aeroo bars then.

Speeder also has their own integrated handlebar, could also be worth looking at

Tavelo AVRO Gen-1
Farsports FS1
EXS Aerover
Winspace Zero SL Integrated Bar (for T1500)
Winspace Zero Integrated Bar (for SLC)
I own all these bars.
-The Tavelo AVRO are the best value. Only 20-30g heavier than the EXS. $150 cheaper. Looks the same and feels slightly more robost. 2cm flare in the drops too. The provided computer mount is well thought out just like EXS.
-Farsports FS1 are the stiffest out of the bunch. Built for sprinters but maybe overkill for climbers. If this is a priority. Great ergonomics too. But I do prefer a thicker hood/tops and also flare in the drops.
-The Tavelo and both Winspace bars all come from the same factory. They feel the same on the road. No flex, smooth surfaces, good fit and finish. Tavelo AVRO could benefit from a better designed exit cable port for the levers. The angle for the ports are TIGHT even with a cable routing tool.
-EXS Aerover is my favorite aesthetically. However, they jacked the price up to $450 and their availability is a joke. EXS can accommodate OD2 steer tubes from the likes of Giant. Farports can too although you'll have to pre-order. Winspace/Tavelo do not.
I wouldn't use anything from Avian even if they sent them to me.

Seems like I am going to order the tavelo. Thx :)

Why wouldn’t you?
-
crap qc, insane manufacturing quality variance
-
I just got the Tavelo Arow frame with the 36 - 120mm handlebars. Really stiff. Drops are parallel to the ground which I like. Feels comfortable and robust. Not sure about the other handlebars.

Avian falcon sounds a lot like avian flu.
In fact the moment I hear avian, I say flu.
Yet another terrible brand name. It matters and it is ironic, because most of these Chinese brands have such bad sounding names that id actively want to avoid them even if they cost the same as an OEM version.
I can live with a Cannondale branded frame, but if my frame says avian, every time I ride it I'll go "flu" and it's just bad. Every time I see my tractor frame, on the other hand, I smile.
Smiling matters, at the end of the day.

Would anyone have a recommendation for an OEM integrated stem/handlebar?

And of course the German word for baboon is Pavian.

Speeder, yishun, lightcarbon, carbonspeedworks, dengfu, longteng seem to all get good feedback. Can vouch for speeder and yishun personally.
-
+1 for Yishun/Light Carbon
And they are also one of the few OEM companies offering stems which are compatible to run cables internally. Would be nice if they made 36cm width bars.
